Question
Yesterday morning, after playing with the hand, foot, and mouth disease, about two hours later, the baby had diarrhea, twice. Applying a belly button patch didn’t work. Today, it happened again. Yesterday’s diarrhea was like egg soup, and today it’s a bit better, green with milk curds. Can the child take medicine?
Answer
As you described, the child is experiencing indigestion and can take oral medicine for nourishment. Pay attention to keeping the child’s abdomen warm and consider taking probiotics. I hope this helps you. Additionally, in daily life, it is recommended to have the child drink more water to timely digest moisture, pay attention to abdominal warmth, and avoid eating extremely cold and spicy irritant foods. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children. Once family members notice any symptoms in the child, they should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for consultation. Also, pay close attention to the child’s dietary issues and suggest appropriate eating habits to avoid cold and cool foods. I hope the child can receive symptomatic treatment and recover!
